If you're in the North America, the Si is the fastest; Elsewhere, the Type R.

However, if you're really serious about this (i.e. you're trying to get into the 8s or 7s in the 1/4), you'll probably spend way more on upgrades than you will on the car itself. For example, most likely the engine won't be stock or it'll be fully 'built' (i.e. no oem internals). Therefore, it probably doesn't matter too much which civic you start with, since everything that will make it go really fast will be aftermarket - and by far most of the $ you have sunk into the car will be in aftermarket parts - by the time you're done it'll be a 'Roon Civic'.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information?
